Recent posts in Wartune on Kongregate page 7

I’m guessing the person that started this thread isn’t a low level 70s player. They can get plundered every two hours by stronger players who don’t even need the gold. With DI and BI, plundering isn’t necessary and is just a bully tactic. It should be removed or modified. Maybe it should be 1 plunder a day instead of 5. Or cap gold at 100k.

I agree with your point about plundering and ameth mines being a part of the game.

wich is why when I became guild master of cuties on oceanic, I refused to enforce rules or truces / become involved in
any fights that arise from this.
(ive ocasionaly made exceptions for bullies. but all we do then is hit them back)
I explained to all who were asking me to do something about someone plundering or attacking them that it is part of the game

up until that point there was already a genral agreement on the server not to plunder one another. as it yields little reward and is an annoyance when your on the receiving end.

but even after I basicly discarded the truce and told anyone who asked that its fair game for all…. still nobody plunders or attacks in amethyst mine.

point is… yeah wars a part of the game, but sometimes its just not the best option

+1. the reason why s15 or wartune 17 hasn’t been merged with another server after all this time is because we managed to keep our members continuously active. whether that’s from their own volition or not, I’m not sure, but I’m sure everyone being able to get their dailies done, and have so many friendly players able to give them helpful information and tips is a big part of that. majority of why new players quit is because they don’t understand the game very well, and/or walk into a flame war, and would rather not be a part of an online soap opera.

On our server, kong15 west (known to you guys as kong 17), a significant majority of players try to cooperate on server-wide events such as atoll boss, regardless of guild. They also try to help each other get runs finished. For a season new players would come to the server and get pushed aside because they weren’t big enough and their own guild would overlook them. Asking for help in world chat was a good way to be ignored. The only thing people paid attention to was the shouting matches in world chat between the top two guilds, which further alienated newer players.

Now thankfully, we are starting to work together again. Many have realized that for our server to function effectively in events such as csgb or the upcoming titan war, we need to have more active players on our guild. Yes it is a wargame but that doesn’t mean we should rage and create war for kicks or even for a personal vendetta. Gravis has it right when he states “I think our servers are dead enough without people being driven away by this behavior.”

50 people are allowed for weekly guild battles… when was the last time the top guilds had 50 people online for gb? 40 people are allowed for csgb, it’s difficult for the top two guilds to get 40 people online for that (unless you do like oceanic did and merge the top players into one highly competitive guild). There are plenty of PVP things in this game without provoking others to anger or shouting matches in world and current chat, or other behaviors that make a server unattractive. It’s not about riding ponies to happy land, it’s about cultivating enough players to field formidable teams. Then the server as a whole can be competitive.

If you are on Kongregrate server 15, and have been playing only a few months, I invite you to respond to this post with a +1 if you agree. Let’s cultivate strong players, regardless of guild, so that our server can be more competitive as a whole.

I would like to see a new solo dungeon/event. Let’s call it Cave of Tranquility or whatever, I don’t care. Once the player enters, there is nothing but darkness. Despite being in a dungeon, the player will have access to fishing, jewels, astrals, mount training and some other stuff. However, in Cave of Tranquility user will not be able to see the chat or any system messages. Neither will (s)he be able to see other people sending roses, Christmas cards, fireworks or the like, or if anyone has lit a flashlight in the wilds. You get the picture… Level requirements: 1-80. This should be a daily event with one reward attempt (that gives you nothing) and after that you can do an unlimited amount of dry runs.

Of course, you could just have a check box in the settings to disable all the lag rendering crap but that has been suggested so many times already without any action whatsoever. Perhaps this new approach could be appealing to the developers.

Turces and agreements can be part of war, too. Because during war we have enemies, but we have allies too.

You want to plunder people because it is part of a war game… But if other people decided to plunder you daily, more than once per day, and then you would lose all of the Gold you were trying to save for events, you would not have fun with the game. You would be angry because people stole the money you got and that you were saving for upgrades and stuff. Even if you would not make drama about it, you would not like it if people did that to you because the people that plunder you would be prejudicing your growth in the game.

What if you plunder some people from a certain Guild… Then these guys ask for people (from their Guild) that are stronger than you to plunder you? What if lots of people start plundering you lots of times a day just because you plundered their friends and now they are plundering you for revenge? Think about that.

The more you plunder people, and if you plunder always the same people because you can beat them, the more these people will want to quit game if they are being prejudiced all the time… And then, our servers will have less and less people, and some of our servers are already “dead” and we have almost nobody to help us or play with us.

If you don’t want to deal with drama, then i would suggest you to avoid playing games in which you need to play with other people. Try playing games in which you can only play against the computer/machine, because the computer will not complain and will not make drama about losing. Because every game that involves people playing with other people means that there will be some drama, sometimes. Maybe you should learn how to deal with it and then the drama will not make you want to post about it on Forums. Some people might read your post and think: “That guy is making drama about people that make drama”, so be careful.

Games are supposed to be fun, robbing others and slowing their growth causes stress and kills the fun for the person being kicked while they are down. I think our servers are dead enough without people being driven away by this behavior. My opinion on this might be different if we had the constant merges other platforms enjoy with a constant influx of new players, as it stands playing “nice” keeps people around to play with.

the truces and agreements are the aftermath of war. you want a more war like setting try a newer server. they generally have no agreements or truces in place.

you talk of plundering others. seems you may be higher on the food chain than most. but what if you had been continually and still are continually plundered out of the gold you earned in game. how long would you seriously play this game. if just because you are the weaker and within 10 Levels you are a target. the BR difference in 10 lvl is extreme these days.

i take it you are in a guild. well then you are already a part of those things you are complaining about. you can’t plunder guildees in mines or abroad.

you want to do what ever you want go ahead no one stopping you. you may get kicked from your guild but that just gives you more targets to plunder repeatedly. like you said its part of the game. but don’t expect not to receive repercussions from those that feel otherwise. like guildees of the people you repeatedly plunder. or being shunned from group activities because you are “that guy”
the choice is yours

This game is based on PVP and war. As we can all see this can cause a buttload of drama. I completely understand that people hate being plundered in ammy mines and their towns plundered, but this is a function of the game. So get over it, it’s really not that big of a deal. The drama part, ok some people are keyboard warriors and love to harrass and bully other people, especially this guild against guild thing. Personally I love the drama it makes it exciting…makes a war game, actually feel like war. But these “Truces” and agreements are taking away the fun, all these new rules and expectations so the game can be a happier place, is messing up the game. Lets fight, lets argue, rage, repeatedly plunder the person you dislike/hate most and make them angry. Because that pushes you to become stronger so you can beat that person or stay ahead of them so they can never beat you. I don’t want handshakes and lets all ride ponies to happy land. Make the game fun again…and lets just all RAGE at each other…
